In 1814 a house at Kilbracken was recorded as the residence of Mr. Armstrong but it has been estimated that the present Kilbracken House was built around 1825. It is not named on the first edition Ordnance Survey map though there are buildings marked on the site. A poster in Leitrim County Library indicates that it was the property of Thomas S.Jones in 1905 when it was offered for sale. The house is still extant and undergoing restoration.

At the time of Griffith's Valuation Killygar House was occupied by John Godley and was valued at £43. It was also the residence of John Godley in 1814 and in 1837.
